2024 ENDURO PRO

Husqvarna Motorcycles has announced its 2024 TE and FE Pro enduro line-up , the 2-stroke TE 300 and 4-stroke FE 350 . These latest offerings have been designed from the ground up to give experienced and ambitious enduro riders the performance edge they need to excel at the highest levels of competition .
All-new for 2024 and based on a revolutionary enduro platform , both the FE 350 Pro and TE 300 Pro are expertly crafted with new frames , subframes , bodywork , suspension , brakes plus a host of engine refinements . Each of the Pro models shares an extensive list of innovations . The new enduro platform focuses on continued improvements to overall rideability , delivering outstanding performance . Husqvarna says riders will immediately appreciate and benefit from the technical changes made to both machines .
Technical sections can be conquered in complete confidence and control thanks to predictable damping from new , enduro-specific WP suspension . A WP XACT Closed Cartridge fork incorporates a mid-valve piston for smooth action and consistent performance , while a hydrostop in the final 68 mm of travel helps maintain momentum . A redesigned WP XACT shock features a new piston for a more compliant action and is 100 g lighter and 15 mm shorter while retaining 300 mm of travel . Both fork and shock settings can be adjusted by hand for quick , easy personalised set-up .
Striking restyled bodywork adorned with modern , Swedish-inspired graphics and a new high-grip seat cover complement the revised chassis . An improved ergonomic rider triangle offers greater knee contact for better control . The slimline bodywork also affords complete freedom of movement when riding standing up while a redesigned LED headlight produces greater illumination and is fitted using a more efficient and userfriendly mounting system .
Based on the all-new 2024 enduro range , the TE 300 Pro engine is fuelled by Throttle Body Injection ( TBI ) technology . Developed to sustain the best-in-class performance of these lightweight 2-stroke machines , TBI gives more consistent and controllable power throughout the rev range , even in the toughest conditions .
Engine innovation is also a hallmark of the FE 350 Pro , powered by a new and much more compact DOHC unit . This is tilted back in the frame by two degrees compared to previous models , further centralising mass and contributing to improved anti-squat chassis characteristics . Additionally , all major engine components are positioned as centrally as possible to improve handling and generate maximum torque and power .
Both models raise the enduro riding experience to new levels thanks to advanced electronics . The Engine Management System ( EMS ) allows each machine to offer two pre-set riding maps to suit varying terrain , with each gear matched to tailored power delivery . The 4-stroke model offers additional rider aids including Traction Control and a Quickshifter for positive upshifts , even under heavy load .
The TE 300 Pro and FE 350 Pro showcase Husqvarna Motorcycles ’ progressive approach with premium components shared across both models . These include a new LED headlight , Brembo hydraulic clutch and brake systems with high performance GALFER discs , a combined Start / Stop button , a new Factory Racing wheel-set with high-strength EXCEL Takasago rims , ProTaper handlebars , and Michelin enduro tyres . A host of premier features that place the Pro models at the top of their class .
The 2024 TE 300 Pro and FE 350 Pro are now available worldwide at all authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealers . Availability may differ from country to country . For details on pricing and availability , please refer to your national Husqvarna Motorcycles subsidiary or importer .
